the turning of the people from their
iwkked ways They refused to heed
the prophet’s wjrda, the result of
which was the falling of God s Judg
lueni upon them In their complete
ICBpdvity and the destruction of Jeru
When It became clear tbut
)e would not heed God s w:im
lb the prophet, the prophet
lleot—dumb. This tragic
portrayed through the
M’s wife. Awful as this
raa to desist from weep-
showing tl^t even natural sorrow
.Was not to be Wxpressed at the lime
of God s awful judgment.
After the renew#f of the prophets
eommlsalon, bis messages were mainly
consolatory. His responsibility Is set
forth under the figure of a watchman.
God give him this position. Every
minister and Sunday School teacher
.Is a watchman. Indeed. u|K>n every
believer has been Imposed certain re
■pons! bill ties. Two things are re^
qulred of a watchman.
L To beer the word at God s mouth
If. 7). .
The source of the message of every
minister and Sunday school teacher
’Is God’s Holy Word. As the prophet
, did not originate his message but re
celved U at God’s mouth, so should
Hi be with every minister.
2. To sound the warning (v. 7).
After hearing ftod’s message he was
^ to proclaim It to the people. The
T Vwutchman’s duty Is both to hear and
to speak. 'The people are to be
warned of tbe impending danger.
Failure to sound the alarm makes the
watchman guilty of the blood of the
sinner (v. 8). After tbe warning the
» tBlnner carries his own guilt (v. 0).
b II. God’s Attitude Toward the Sin
• r . . Bar (vv. 10, 11).
God had declared In His-word that
unfaithfulness on the part of His peo
pit would cause them to “perish
•moug the heathen,” to “pine away
In tbelr Iniquity** (Lev. 26:38, 30).
I In view of this pronouncement, some
wore disposed to soy that their case
5raa hopeless. To meet this attitude
despair, the prophet assured them
God had no pleasure in the death
tbe wicked, but that his sincere de
tire was for the wicked to turn from
bis way and live. Regardless of what
' tbelr past had been He assured them
that the future was bright, but God’s
.command and plea Is, “Turn ye from
pour evil ways, for why will ye die
« house of Israel?”
*. 111. The Sinner's Personal Responsi
** Ability (vv. 12-20).
• v >, God has created the members of the
, ^ ^/^fBco as ‘volitional beings, possessing
, freedom of choice. They have moral
^licerninenL enabling them to dlstin
JfUisb between right and wrong. Tbe
jfotlovtlng principles govern the sinner
L /BBd the watchman:
L Fast righteousness will not aval)
{far present sins (v. 12).
When a righteous man turns to do
liBiquitjr, bis past seeming righteous-
will be of no aval!.

4. God s ways are equal (vv. 17.
20).
God holds man responsible for bis
own deeds. The child Is not con-
demned because of the deeds of Its
father. This does not do away with
the law of heredity. Regardless of
what one’s past life has been, God’s
grace In Jesus Christ blots out his
record and he stands accepted in the
Beloved. -
On the Job
While Moses was caring for the
sheep God’s great commission came
to him. If God has any great thin?
for us to do, we need not fear that
He will miss us because we are busy
with our common tasks.
Belief in Jesus Christ
The condition of salvation is that
kind cl belief In Jesus Christ w’hlch
authenticates Itself In repentance for
the past and In amendments of life for
the future.—L. L. Noble.

“RL’LE OF THREE” GUARDS
AGAINST POISON IVY
to honor Writer
OF FAIRY TALES
World to Observe Andersen’s
125th Birthday.
“Leaflets three, let it be” is good
advice for avoidirg the misery caused
by poison ivy. It may lead to avoid
ance of some innocent plants, but it
expresses a simple rule of safety and
bears the indorsement of botariists in
the United States Department of Ag
riculture. In autumn poison ivy may
be recognized by its white, bony berry
like fruits, in cornection with its three
leaflets.
ADVERTISE in The People-Sentinel.
New York.—Plans now under way
for the observance next year of the
one hundred and twenty-fifth annt
versnry of the birth of Hans Chris
tian Andersen by literary bodies and
even governments all over the world
are announce^ In the Golden Book
This tribute to the eccentric Dane
whose fairy tales have probably been
translated Into more languages than
the writings of any other one man.
will be in a sense an apology for an
all too frequent human error—that
of mistaking genius for stupidity. An
dersen, It is recalled, was regarded
In his youth not only us a dolt but
often ns a Ititmrlc.
Julius Morltzen, the Danisli-Amerl
can writer, relates how Andersen In
his early *teens and beset with de
sire to shine on the singe, threw
Mine. Schall, the noted dancer. Into
a (it ot consternation when he ar
rived In Co|»ei)iiugen. attired in his
father's made-over greatcoat and ■
hnt which fell over his eyes, and pre
sented himself at Iter house.
He exftected the star to s|»onsor his
career, and ofiened the audience with
the announcement that he could piny
the part of Cinderella! Moreover be
removed his h<tots—to aid his dnne
lug—took his hat In hand for tumhotir
Ine. and hegajn lo trip fantastically
o%*er the floor singing: “Here below
nor rank nor riches are exempt from
lain and woe."
“My strange gestures and my great
activity cau«ed the lady to think me
out of my mind, and she Inst no time
In getting rid of me.'* Andersen wrote
In adult years.
The extreme poverty of Andersen's
childhood—his father was a cotd.ler
his mother a washerwoman—made
him the butt of children's joke* and
accentuated his sensitivity Into char
acter.srlr eccentricities which he <ar
ried through his life, points out the
Golden Rook writer. Even when he
n-as successful and acclaimed, he
never forgot the slights or painful
episodes of his youth, and took pains
to repay them In strange ways
For Instance, the minister who was
to confirm him ns s boy thought him
too poor and stupid to bother with
and sent him to bis vicar for the sac
rament In later years Andersen, vis
Ring the king of Denmark on the Is
land of Foehr, learned that the tuln
Ister lived near by. He borrowed the
king’s carriage with Its footmen and
luxurious trappings and called on the
clergyman while the carriage waited
In all Its ostentation at the door.
•‘That,” he related, “was my revenge.”
Before his death In 1875. this mid
weaver of fairy tales, despite his ec-
renfricities and grotesque appearance,
was probably the best beloved of
European Literary men, even among
literary people themselves.
